After the general's legitimate daughter was reborn, the ascetic prime minister pinched her wais

Shen Jiang heard the shouts of the three of them in the early morning of the second day. The first person to come thought someone had fallen into the water.

After seeing the three people clearly, he recognized them as these robbers. He couldn't help but feel extremely excited. He hurriedly walked through the streets and called everyone to watch.

Everyone has suffered from these robbers for a long time. Many people gathered on the shore and picked up stones, throwing them and cursing them.

"You bastards!"

"You have today too!"

"Get out of our town!"

Gao Wenyan and Chu Xu stood not far away and watched for a while, very satisfied with the result.

"Let's go." Chu Xu said.

They took shortcuts all the way, and calculated that they would arrive at the border of Qi State faster than planned.

"Hold on."

Gao Wenyan returned to the inn, gave the innkeeper a tael of gold, and asked him to go to the blacksmith shop and find a blacksmith to forge a weapon for every household here.

Suddenly three robbers were killed, and the people's fighting spirit was pushed to an unprecedented height. Now is the best time to fight back.

People who have been in the quagmire will want to grab a little hope whenever they see it.

Chu Xu must have thought so too.

While it's impossible to completely defend against those bandits, the situation should improve. For them, it would be great to see a little improvement.

The shopkeeper was so grateful that he had to kneel down to express his gratitude.

Gao Wenyan helped him up and said: "Shopkeeper, take care."

They did not stop and rode fast all the way until they arrived at Qi State at nightfall.

There is no customs clearance document. Fortunately, there are always some "guides" at the border asking whether to enter Qi.

The two gave a "guide" a few taels of silver, and he took them there secretly.

As soon as he entered the city, the man completed his mission, waved his hand and turned around and left.

"It seems that many people have fled to Qi State." Gao Wenyan sighed.

It has become a business.

The "guide" was taken to the barren mountains and wild ridges. It was the first time for both of them to come to Qi State. They were lost for a while and could only walk to the city based on their intuition.

Finally reaching the bottom of the city wall, unexpectedly, a soldier was relieving himself on the wall, and the three of them bumped into him.

"who!"

He shouted loudly.

Gao Wenyan was the first to react, grabbing Chu Xu's sleeve and running away.

Whistles sounded one after another, and more and more soldiers chased them. The two hid in an alley, using debris to cover their bodies.

No one dared to express their anger. They were very close to each other, but they didn't care about the defense between men and women.

"I thought the girl would confront him directly."

"No, there are troops stationed there. They have all been properly trained, and they are not comparable to those little thieves."

Moreover, in a foreign country, the two of them had to keep a low profile due to their status.

Gao Wenyan thought for a while and said, "You and I will go separate ways to find the horses in a while, and we'll meet here in a quarter of an hour."

After they separated tacitly, Gao Wenyan was lucky and found a stable in the east.

Both of them returned to the alley on time, but Chu Xu had an extra bottle of wine in his hand.

"Prime Minister..."

"No horses found, but there is a wine shop with quite a few customers."

The soldiers outside were still searching, and riding away at this time was indeed too intrusive.

They each found two lone soldiers, knocked them unconscious, and put on their armor.

Chu Xu set a fire in the backyard of the winery. After discovering the fire, the winery immediately became a mess. Some shouted for fire, some even poured wine on the fire, and some called for officers and soldiers.

Upon hearing the fire, the officers and soldiers immediately rushed to the wine shop, and residents also ran out of their homes, making the streets very lively.

Gao Wenyan led the wild dog to the stable and kicked it on the butt. The wild dog was immediately irritated and barked wildly, causing the horses to panic and flee in all directions.

She opened the stable door and the horses scrambled out.

The house leaked and it rained continuously all night. The officers and soldiers were unable to put out the fire and tame the frightened horses, so they had to send people quickly to ask for support.

Taking advantage of the chaos, the two escaped on horseback.

It was still more than an hour away from Zhihe City, so the two decided to rush to Zhihe City overnight.

Gao Wenyan's heart was still beating "dong dong". Although she had done a lot of bad things with Gao Wenting since she was a child, this was the first time this happened.

"I just feel a little sorry for the owner of the winery and stables."

"It doesn't matter, I left a silver coin for the wine shop."

Gao Wenyan laughed: "What a coincidence! I also left a piece of silver for the stable owner."

The two rode side by side, looked at each other, and couldn't help laughing.

At that time, there was a gentle breeze, and the waning moon hung high in the east, like a silver hook, catching the stars in the sky.

Chu Xu touched his side as a habit. Suddenly his expression changed. He immediately stopped his horse and rummaged up and down for something.

"Girl, go first, I will catch up later."

Gao Wenyan saw an anxious look on Chu Xu's face for the first time.

"I left something behind, I have to look for it."

As he spoke, he turned his head.

She caught up with her on horseback and asked, "Do you have to go back?"

"Yes, I have to go back."

They finally escaped, and it was impossible for Chu Xu not to know what it meant to turn back at this time.

Seeing Chu Xu purse his lips tightly and unable to hide the anxious look in his eyes, Gao Wenyan rolled his eyes and asked knowingly: "Is this what Mr. Yan is looking for?"

She spread her hands, revealing a dark red sachet with black tassels.

Gao Wenyan turned back to the alley one step ahead of Chu Xu. When he saw an extra sachet on the ground, he guessed that Chu Xu had gotten up in a hurry and accidentally got hung up by the bamboo basket next to him.

There have been rumors in the capital that Chu Xu is still unmarried because he has been engaged for a long time. However, his fiancée lives in a foreign country, so he has been searching for her for many years and waiting for her for many years.

The sachet he was wearing was a gift from his fiancée, so he wore it every day and never left his body.

Most of these rumors are exaggerated, so Gao Wenyan usually just listens to them.

However, this sachet is ordinary, not only the fabric is ordinary, but also the simplest pattern. The stitches are uneven, as if they were made by a beginner in embroidery.

However, Chu Xu cherished it very much.

He gradually slowed down, and his nervous expression finally relaxed.

"Exactly."

He took the sachet, lightly dusted it off, and tied it around his waist again.

Gao Wenyan gave a casual explanation: "I picked it up in the alley. I wanted to ask you, but I forgot. I really feel sorry for making Mr. Yan anxious."

"It's my turn to thank the girl."

"Is this a gift from Young Master Yan's sweetheart?"

Chu Xu looked at her indifferently, and she touched her nose uncomfortably, feeling a little ashamed of her gossip.

"Ahem, everyone in Beijing says so."

He couldn't help but chuckle: "Those ones don't have any credibility at all. They are all like storytellers and can always make up a story for you."

Gao Wenyan originally wanted to say that, but that was not the case. But she heard Chu Xu mention how she and Lin Qian were said to be a perfect match.

She nodded and said, "These people are indeed outrageous."
